Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 5192

Received: 03/09/2021

Respondent: Dr Rachel Horn

Representation Summary:

I notice from the preferred options that there is a lot of focus on development to the south if Bedford, why has development North of Bedford/ in new areas and in existing villages (where there is significant space and plans for East to West railway line) being considered?

In general I would be supportive of small growth distributed along urban and rural areas of the borough, rather than heavy development in one pocket.
